Bo_Lorentzen Posted September 8, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted September 8, 2007 It seems to me that strictly manual focus 4:3 lenses might be a bit of a contradiction, particularly once the photographer develops a work style using the automatic focus to focus the lens on a desired point. Â Personally I would prefer lenses with good manual and the option for automatic, kind of like the kit zoom. it seems that is also the general style of the new designs from Leica/panasonic. including the aperture ring. Â There is clearly a interest in the market for entirely manual lenses (there is quite a few people converting konica lenses), still I am not sure there is enough market to make them or at least justify it financially.

MJLogan Posted September 9, 2007 Share #4 Â Posted September 9, 2007 I get great results using old manual OM lenses--especially my 50mm f/1.4 prime. I'd be shocked if anyone started manufacturing high-quality manual lenses for 4/3 today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlaing Posted September 9, 2007 Share #5 Â Posted September 9, 2007 I use OM lenses too and they work great. Â Incidently, ALL 4:3 lenses will manual focus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you experienced automatic metering resulting in darker photographs?  I'll try next week my old 180 mm /2.8 and I'll post some photos with it on the D3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
